The problems of tax reduction with following extract from Knierson'a Es-
ftiy on "American t'lvluzatioit" wnun
Wiist delivered on January 31, 18fi2:
'So imposts are the cheap and
particular reference to the' recent
meeting of the western stales taxpay
ers conference at Portland, formed lb
business of the. Medford Kotury club
at Its regular weekly meeting at the
Hotel Medford yesterday.
Paul MrKee. general manager of
tho 'California Oregon Power company
-y-und retiring president of the Tuxpay
r rs league, was the principal speakr
nnd gave a very Interesting resume of
right taxation; but. by the dislik
of people to pay out a direct tax, .
governments are forced to render
life twice as costly by making
them pay twice us much, hidden
In the price of tea and sugar."
. I quote this passage from Knierson
in order to Hlustrale and indicate that
the matter of taxation has been in the
the recent conference over which he minds of our people for many years,
presided. ITe was 'proceeded by H, K. . It has been the subject of attention n

who attended the Portland meeting I not been applied to the solution of
and gave their Impressions of its sig-'the problem. Now wo have reached
nlficancc in two minute talks. Or. U
It. Johnson of the Itotary club pre
sided and introduced the speakers.
Mr. McKee's speech was In pari as
follows:
'A few years (igo It became evident
to a group of people in I'tah that
there was a very definite sentiment In
their state in favor of .economy in
government. These people res llzed
that this sentiment would be of liltl"
value without an organization through
which to bring It home to' the people
In control of the expenditure of pub
lic funds. Accordingly, the ITtah
State Taxpayers association was or
ganized. AlmuL the mum time. lax-,
payers In other states created similar
organizations for the same purpose.
Naturally the leaders in these organi
zations were gradually brought to
gether because of their common pur
pose and it became evident to them
that the lax problems in the twelve
western stales required the same kind
of treatment. They decided that it
would be a fine plan to arrange an
annual meeting at which these gen
tlemen might sit about the conference
table and discuss their common prob
lems. Accordingly, the first confer
ence was held at Salt Lake ICty three
years ago. This served as the be
ginning of what is now known as the
Western States Taxpayers conference.
The meeting seemed to be full of
promise and benefit and it was decided
by these gentlemen that a second con
ference should be held, and San Kran
ciseo vn selected as the meeting
pln.ee. The third conference, with
which you are familiar, was held in
Portland a few days ago. The next
and fourth conference is to be held in
Los Angeles.
"Just a word regarding the organi
zation of the state groups, It seemed
obvious to the feopla who were the
leaders In the organizalion'of the or
iginal state tax payers groups that the
first requirement should he'that the
association should be representative
of all groups of tax payers, that it
should include representatives . from
each and every business .and Industry
In the state and that it should not he 1
dominated by any one of. these groups, ,
whether agriculture, mining, banking,
utility or what not. It was also de
cided that this representation should
be carried down Into pounty and lo
cal subdivisions and that while there
should be a central state headquar
ters which would serve as the com
mon place of meeting for the local or
ganization, that headquarters should
serve the will of the general represen
tation and should not be In itself the
dominating factor. In Utah there are
twelve Industries represented in the
organization and in accordlnace with
the plan just outlined, this represen
tation is state wide in its character.
lnnxses and Alms of the Conference
There seemed to me to be three
general purposes which the confer
ence must fulfill: First, Furnish n
common meeting ground where, tax
problems vital to the western states
may be discussed in nn earnest and
comprehensive manner: Second En
, courage the organization of tax pay
. era associations in the states where
such organizations do not now exist;
Third To bring about a general sen
timent for economy, thrift and effi
ciency In government, especially the
government of our twelve western
states. The last pmpose. of course,
represents an endeavor which is all-inclusive
and more or less Intangible,
but which can only be accomplished
through definite organization.
The conference recognizes that
taxes are inevitable and must hu paid.
The great effort is to bring about a
realization on the part of public ofTl
cers that they will be supported when
they do spend the funds alloted tn
them Intrlllgently. and to bring home
to them the fact that there Is a gen
eral sentiment In favor of proper and
nennnmlc unending of public funds. It
the time where people are beginning
to realize that if the sentiment which
exists in all sections oflhe country
in favor of the proper expenditure of
public funds and thrift and efficien
cy in government is to be brought
home to the office holder and the lax
spender, associations of lax payers,
built up on unselfish ami puhlic spir
ited principles must be developed for
that purpose."
In closing Mr. McKee emphasized
the fact that thfH tax reduction move,
meat is absolutely non-political, men
of all parties are welcomed, the sole
purpose being reduction of luxes
through Increase In public economy
and efficiency.

"Why such stress on cleanness in gasoline"? A fair question. The answer
you'll find interesting.
You can readily understand why a physically clean gasoline makes the better
motor-fuel. Certainly and Associated is purified by special 'processes, one '
of which is well-defined, complete filtration-;.
. Another kind of cleanness is expressed in terms of chemistry and has to do
with "boiling points. "Associated Gasoline is distilled by a method which gives
to this clean motor fuel, the correct "chain" or range of boiling points; They
start at the more volatile parts and gradually rise, on through the heavier or
power-producing parts or "fractions"! ' t '
That is why each charge ignites instantly and "burns" or explodes completely
.on the down stroke, yielding every ounce of energy, and leaving no unburned ;
or wasted fuel to gum up the cylinders. That describes clean cut action-
honest gasoline "more miles to the gallon" sustained quality. .A
